Does Google have a brain?

As a mathematics blogger with an interest in science communications, I’ve observed that there aren’t many tutorials for SEO keyword research available. This is a serious gap that needs filling, especially as more scientists begin to understand the modern appeal of blogging. SEO is key in helping your blog get noticed and bringing traffic to your website.

Generally, SEO is the practice of optimizing the quantity and quality of traffic to your website by including content so that a search engine recognizes it. This is most often done through choosing one or more keywords and optimizing your content so that a search engine recognizes those words on your blog. The goal is not to overly use keywords, but create a balance of keywords and related phrases.

Read on to learn my “5 Practical Steps for Keyword Research and Strategy”, a self-taught, cost effective method to improve traffic to your website.

This year, scientific news was consumed in a more mainstream fashion than ever before. COVID-19 brought conversations about medical science, scientific process, vaccines, and other complex information the average news consumer was previously unaware of – or did not necessarily need to care about – into the public sphere of awareness. Communicating scientific developments instantly became an instrumental element for progress and safety for every person in society to understand how to deal with the pandemic and how to make it through. The importance of clear science communications and the flaws in accurately communicating these developments to varying audiences were cast in a bright spotlight.

A Surprise Diagnosis for an Inmate

Marchell Taylor Sr. had been out of prison for 4 years in January 2016, but he longed to return. He felt that “no one valued him anymore, he wasn’t important, all his relationships were damaged, [and] he was a financially broke business founder.” He needed an escape, and found himself back in prison after an aggravated robbery with a second-degree kidnapping charge. Mr. Taylor had gotten his wish, and his need for escaping life escalated into a suicide attempt that left his unconscious for five days.
